'How was he allowed to do it?': Jurgen Klopp's No 2 Pepijn Lijnders under scrutiny for writing book on Liverpool's tactics - which were exposed in 4-1 Napoli humbling - as Dietmar Hamann says 'alarm bells should be ringing'

Former midfielder Dietmar Hamann has criticised Pepijn Lijnders for releasing a book about Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool side whilst still working at Anfield.

The Reds are enduring a below-standard start to the new season, as they currently sit seventh in the Premier League, having won just twice in their opening six fixtures.

Things went from bad to worse in their Champions League opener as they were humiliated with a heavy 4-1 defeat to Serie A side Napoli, which exposed Liverpool's lack of intensity and suspect defending so far this campaign.
